Middle East Knock-On Effects More Widespread Than Expected for Worley

Worley is one of the largest global providers of engineering and professional services to the oil, gas, mining, power, and infrastructure industries, with about 59,000 employees and more than AUD 12 billion in annual revenue. Strong relationships with global resource and petrochemical firms, along with solid levels of long-term recurring work, provide some element of switching cost support, a competitive strength. While the traditional engineering, procurement and construction management space is competitive, we believe few firms have the skills and capacity to take on the work available in many of the key areas in which Worley operates. Most contracts are of a cost-plus nature, so the risk from project delays and cost overruns is minimized. The highly skilled, specialist nature of WorleyParsons' work means it can earn higher margins than traditional engineering and construction firms.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Worley is ideally positioned to benefit from any future increase in capital expenditure from energy markets, particularly unconventional oil and gas, coal, and offshore oil.

Bears

A further significant drop in oil prices is likely to lead to a major cut in capital expenditure and limit new projects in the oil and gas sector. The hydrocarbons sector comprises over 50% of Worley's current operating revenue.

Company Profile

Worley is a leading global provider of professional services, such as engineering, procurement, and construction management, to the oil, gas, mining, power, and infrastructure sectors.
